So excited to meet you, finally, yes it is me in the flesh, I am Musk. But you can call me Elon... have you had protected sex recently? Recoil not, I've a point! The population, ma'am, have you been paying attention to it? Well, if you had, you'd tear the accursed rubber off any dick that'd penetrate you, erm, technically speaking. Wow, Hungary, beautiful country. Famous for its Ketamine right? No...? I could have sworn... say, your people haven't been jabbed, have they...?

The guy who fires people at a moment's notice, for not being sycophantic enough, for not meeting his bullshit metrics, for doing jobs Elon doesn't understand, or for simply not looking busy enough when Elon walks by; says he would go to jail to protect his employees' right not to get vaccinations.

Elon would gladly hand every employee he has over to a lifetime of torture to avoid spending a day in prison. He obviously doesn't see his employees as people.

Getting a single dent or scratch on that thing is going to look so much worse than if it was a normal car. Go look at a stainless steel fridge and see how many bumps and scrapes and smudges you can see. This thing is legitimately the Homer car in that one stupid person was allowed to design it and it is hideously ugly and impractical.

Not even scratches but every. single. person. I've known that has ever had a stainless steel fridge said never again

Lol my wife has been an ER nurse for 6 years and she is convinced that this year the health system is gonna collapse. She works at a top ten ER in the entire country and already the past week they have had such bad overcrowding that a patient with a blood pressure of 70/40 had to wait 5 hours to be seen and an actual dead guy was in a wheelchair at the front desk for over 20 minutes. They always have a greater nurse at the front desk but there was a code and she had to leave and EMS literally dropped a dead person off and left him by the desk. Nurse got back from the code and realized what happened.

Again this is a hospital ranked top ten in the nation and it's not even October yet so yeah maybe Elon should shut the gently caress up about vaccines

It's actually quite interesting that Elon thinks the cybertruck is futuristic. Most utopian visions of the future would use curves and light neutral tones to make things look soft and appealing; think federation ships from star trek, or as a practical example think back to the imac as a consumer good that was supposed to look futuristic.

Elon would probably say that the cybertruck is supposed to look utilitarian. "Who cares how it makes people feel, it's the function that counts". Setting aside whether sharp angles are actually aerodynamic or not, for anyone who isn't interested in pretending to be a robot it's an intensely dystopian vision of the future where peoples' happiness is sacrificed for efficiency.

no, elon saw trucks in cyberpunk 2077 and because he is a literal moron with no reading comprehension or media literiacy skills, he thinks that cyberpunk 2077 IS utopian.

On the blinker topic, yesterday I was behind some car whose turn signal was going at 3-4x usual speed and I didn't even parse it as a turn signal. Thought it was an emergency flasher like on guide cars for oversized loads and was trying to figure out why it was only on one side and what it was warning. Then they turned and I put the pieces together. Don't try to be "stylish" with things that were standardized for a reason!

Just had to gripe about that somewhere.

On many car models if you see the rear blinker doing that, it’s an indication to the driver (and other drivers) that the front blinker on that side is not working. The blink indicator sound inside the car is also sped up. Had it happen on my Kia work vehicle a few times when the front passenger side blinker bulb kept losing connection.

On the plus side, there hasn’t been an unprecedented number of people leaving medical jobs for the past 3 years or anything, so I don’t see why a repeat of 2020 would be bad

Going cold turkey with Twitter was hard for a couple days but then it’s done with and you don’t even feel the urge anymore.

No interest in going back to that kind of thing with bluesky or mastodon or any of those. It was fun at the time, that time is passed.

Facebook I deleted after 2016 or possibly even earlier. I do sometimes have an urge to look up old school chums but that passes pretty fast usually.

They don't actually know if he was triaged is the fun part. EMS swears a triage nurse looked at him and triage swears the guy was never there. And despite the fact that there have been multiple assaults on nurses recently there are no security cameras back in triage so they can't actually look at footage

Lollll I could make an entire thread about assaults at just my wife's hospital. One nurse got her jaw broken by a guy on PCP last year, DAs office called her to see if she would drop the charges so the guy wouldn't lose his job at the airport. Another nurse was assaulted in January, guy then left the ER and stood outside glaring at her. Philly police wouldn't arrest cause it was on hospital property and UPenn police wouldn't arrest him cause he was on city property. Another nurse got strangled by a guy who was angry that his unvaccinated wife with no mask wasn't allowed in the oncology department

It's nonstop especially with COVID. The amount of nurses who got hit just for telling someone to put a mask on is insane.

Oh also forgot someone got a gun through the metal detector, fought like 3 nurses and then bit the ear off a guard. Another nurse had to handcuff the guy cause the other security officer there said he couldn't touch the guy. Management ordered pizza for the unit to make everyone feel better.
